A non-exhaustive list of reasons your caretaker or teammate could participate in this wonderful trope.

dragging whumpee back to their feet to keep walking, just a little longer
hauling whumpee out of a self-sacrificial dash towards the enemy
several pairs of arms catching whumpee when they stumble because everyone’s ready for it
a group of friends holding whumpee down so they can get painful medical aid
carrying a fainted whumpee
pushing the whumpee down so they can’t hurt themselves in a panic
lifting a whumpee up into an escape route
grabbing whumpee for a rushed rescue, bundling them away before they can make a sound
shoving a whumpee out of the sight of patrolling guards during an escape
restraining a whumpee who resists rescue and is trying to call for help
forcing a whumpee back down onto a bed to rest
a hug that restrains flailing panic or lashing-out anger
